About this product 7
5 About this product
5.1 Introduction
What is it?
In the production of TV studios and OB trucks, the Tally system is an auxiliary system when the video
transmission system is working. It prompts the cameraman, host, director, producer and technician
through the color display of the indicator light or characters.
The red Tally light is used to indicate which camera signal is being switched out.
It helps the broadcaster to face the camera and ensure the correct line of sight.
It also reminds the cameraman that the camera signal has been cut out by the guide.
No matter it is in the studio or the OB vehicle system, the tally system is a very important component.
How does it work?
The ARRI Tally System Gen. 2 contains a so-called Host module, which normally mounted onto the
15mm rods and is thus located under the lens, and the so-called Client module, which is mounted on
top of the operator's monitor.
A Tally trigger signal is required to switch the red LED in the Tally Host module ON and OFF.
By default, this trigger signal is generated by picking up the onboard tally LED on the camera using
a photocell. Alternatively, the Tally trigger signal can be tapped directly at the camera using a special
cable (3rd party).
After the Tally Host module has been triggered, i.e. the red LED starts to light up, another trigger signal
is sent through the tally-out socket of the Tally Host module further through the rig to the tally Client
module, which then simultaneously lights up the red LED in the Tally Client module turns on.
What problems does it solve?
Compared to the first generation, the Tally Host module now communicates digitally with the Tally Client
module.
In order to achieve a better perception of the Tally Host module, it has been designed to be extremely
bright, while the Tally Client module has a slightly softer display so as not to blind or distract the
operator.
